the big oil companies so it's the same. the difference is you may not get the additives to help keep your engine clean but it's not going to make a big difference in terms of how much gas you need. premium only better if you have a high performance engine. opening the windows doesn't make a difference, up, down, ac, no ac, they did a test and "consumer reports" found that pretty much makes no difference in terms of one or the other. >> thank you very much for the tips. >> 6:27 now. still to come, a 49er recovering after a stabbing and double shooting at his house party in the south bay. the latest coming up. >> the trial of a man who admits to attacking a priest continues today. find out what's expected to happen in a live report. >> some tattoo artists will be held to a higher standard a. new law taking effect today.
